Changing the Local Database Administrator Password

A Siebel Remote server administrator can change the local DBA password on Mobile Web Clients. The password is set when the administrator generates the database template that will be used to create the local databases for those clients.

To set the local DBA password, the administrator uses the New DBA password (NewDbaPwd) parameter of the Generate New Database server component. There are two ways to specify a value for this parameter:

• If the administrator wants to use a particular local DBA password for one-time use of the Generate New Database component, the parameter can be specified when the component is run.

  NOTE:  A NewDbaPwd parameter value that is specified at runtime overrides the default parameter value specified by Siebel Systems and any value that is set in an administration view, but this value is used only for only the current run of the Generate New Database component.

• If the administrator wants to use a particular local DBA password for multiple uses of the Generate New Database component, the parameter value can be specified and saved in an administration view, as described later in this topic. If the parameter value is specified in an administration view, it does not need to be specified when the component is run.

If the administrator does not specify a value for this parameter by either of these methods, Generate New Database sets the local DBA password to the first 8 characters of the enterprise name if the name has 8 or more characters, or to the enterprise name concatenated with nnn, where nnn = 1234... as padding if the enterprise name has fewer than 8 characters. For example, by default, the local DBA password is set to ONECUSTO for an enterprise named OneCustomer or to SIEBEL12 for an enterprise named Siebel.

The following procedure describes how to set a local DBA password for use on multiple occasions:

To set a local DBA password for multiple uses of GenNewDb

1. From the application-level menu, choose Navigate > Site Map > Administration - Server Configuration > Enterprises > Component Definition.
2. In the Component Definition list, use standard query techniques to select the Generate New Database component.
3. In the Component Parameters form, use standard query techniques to select the New DBA password parameter.
4. In the Value field, enter the local DBA password you want to use on multiple occasions, and then save the record.
